About this trip

AdhirohatI: To rise above. Transcend. Shed the layers of our untruths, our biases of self and others. To come together as family and support, nurture, experience, and tap into our highest possibilities.

Join Sarah Fuhrmann E-RYT and Josh Lynn E-RYT for 6 days of life transforming self discovery at Del Pacifico Estates. Two private Villas on a 400 acre estate overlooking the Pacific Ocean in Esterillos Este

All Inclusive Means All Included

Living your best possible life is possible. The gifts of Yoga should be made accessible for ALL.

Creating connection, living memorable experiences and having the best adventures shouldn’t mean maxing out credit cards and creating financial stress.

You’ll find many different pricing options for this retreat because YOU deserve to be a part of this. We strongly recommend booking in groups to save the most money... and who doesn’t want to go to Costa Rica with their Best Yoga Friends anyway?!?

Payment plans are also available and encouraged so that you can plan ahead and prepare for an awesome time without the burden of the bill.

Josh Lynn E-RYT: Josh's journey in the healing arts started about 10 years ago and continues to expand. After a Massage Therapy training he knew his appetite for more information would grow so after adding Yoga to his lifestyle he was able to better share the knowledge that has helped him to grow and evolve. He can't wait to relax and rejuvenate with you on this amazing retreat!

Debby’s intention is to help you rewrite some thought patterns that in turn bring about wealth and infinite abundance. Step fully into you and embrace what is calling. Adhirohati!

The Adventure

Each day's activities is based on one of the six Tantric Yoga Qualities of Consciousness. These concepts invite you to fully engage with, nurture and grow yourself and others. You will dive into the inquiry of each daily in yoga practice, music, communal connection, exciting adventures, massage, acro yoga, Thai yoga and personal time for yourself.

The Yoga

Each day begins with an invigorating all levels Vinyasa Flow class designed around the Quality of Consciousness being investigated that day. At the end of each day wind down with a delightful restorative practice meant to soften the body and mind for rest and rejuvenation. Depending on the day you will also tap into other fun and exciting forms of yoga such as partner yoga, Thai massage and meditation!

The Ahhh..

The Music

Christine KIck will be lavishing us all week long with song. Whether it's during Savasana or in Kula in the evening, Christine's vibrations will inspire healing and relaxation!

Here's a bit about Christine:

Christine is a yogi and inspired human. As a teenager, she found her niche playing music in church and singing in her high school choir. Thanks to inspiration and support from friends at a local coffee shop who encouraged her to start playing regularly at open mic night, she developed a real love for sharing her music. She would spend her days writing and recording songs in her bedroom where she self-produced a full-length album called "Suspended on Sidewalk". In college, she moved to Nashville to study songwriting and music business for two years. Upon completing an Audio Technology degree, she moved to Chicago, where her she was introduced to yoga and quickly developed a deep sense of connection to the practice. Her love of yoga and music has been intertwining ever since she first discovered chanting at an AcroYoga immersion in 2013. She has traveled to song festivals including Village Fire and Singing Alive to be a gatherer of songs that are meant to inspire healing for our hearts and the planet, and creates music that merges spiritual Earth songs and traditional mantra. Check her out!

Del Pacifico Estate

We will be staying at Casa Oceana and Casa Exotica on this large estate that offers both community and privacy. The homes are next to each other on top of a hill with panoramic ocean views, serene surroundings and cool breezes. Guests can easily go from one to another through the gardens.

Each home's interior is full of light, elegant and unique with 10' tall ceilings and quality custom furnishings. The rooms are large and spacious. The hilltop breezes and ceiling fans keep the house naturally cool most of the day. There is an A/C system just in case, but it's rarely needed. Each home as its own kitchen, laundry, rooftop terrace and its own pool.

Travel and Transfers

The closest international airport is the "Juan Santa Maria" International Airport in San Jose, CR (code: SJO) and is about 80mi from Del Pacifico Estate on good roads.

We recommend purchasing airfare for the 27th and staying in San Jose the night before AND check in is between 3-5pm the 28th and many flights arrive during that time as well.

If your flight happens to arrive later than check in let us know the details ahead of time and we will have a driver pick you up!

There are transfers to and from the airport included in the price of your stay. However, should you want to rent a car and drive yourself or your group for a bit more freedom please let us know and we can work with you to set that up.

Cancellation Policy

We understand that life happens and things change. We will do our best to be flexible. However, the closer the cancellation is to the actual start date, the less likely it is that we will be able to fill your space.

Since we have to pre-pay for many items, late cancelled rooms would mean payments out of our pockets and cold empty beds. We highly suggest you purchase travel insurance in case of any emergency change of plans, and are happy to answer any other questions that you might have!

There will be Photographs and video taken during the retreat and used for promotional purposes. By signing up for this retreat, you are agreeing to allow any photographs taken of you to be used by Sarah Fuhrmann Yoga LLC, Josh Lynn E-RYT, Debby Siegel, Christine Kick, and Pura Vida Casas.

9:30-12:30 Rainmaker Day Tour Group 1:
We start our adventure in one of the most beautiful and amazing rainforest habitats of Costa Rica. We start walking along the Rio Seco’s edge. Hand rails and easy-to-follow footpaths, along with observation platforms, allow you to observe waterfalls and photograph the rich biodiversity this unique site has to offer. Rainmaker is home to Morpho butterflies, varieties of birds, the colorful poison dart frog and thousands of unique plant species. Depending on the time of year, visitors are also afforded sightings of indigenous reptiles and other animals that make their way down to the water. At the end of the walk a pristine waterfall pool will beckon you to enjoy a refreshing dip.

Continuing up the trails, visitors will come to the Canopy Bridge system. This system consists of suspension bridges, built to U.S. engineering standards. The six sections total 250 meters, spanning from platforms attached to massive hardwood trees to create the most impressive Canopy Walk in Costa Rica. The design permits minimal forest impact, giving our participants an opportunity to explore the majesty of the forest canopy from a bird’s eye view.

Freedom; independence; choice. The realization that we are unbound and have limitless potential is a liberating and enlightening change in perspective.

On day three, embrace your power of choice and free will. Step into the driver seat of your experience. Chill at Esterillos Oeste Beach with some of your fellow Kula, or hang out by the poolside with cocktail in hand. Pamper yourself with a massage or choose from a vast array of optional excursions. What you do is your choice!

Or choose from some of the awesome excursions offered via Pura Vida Casas. You’ll get to decide what you put into the day; whether you need some time to unwind or an exciting excursion.

Fullness: the idea that everything is enough and perfect as it is and is always evolving. On this last day of 2018, it’s time to shed the layers of untruths and stories you’ve been holding onto and realize your true, whole self. Dive into inquiry and find what you wish to leave back in 2018. Make sure to write them down because you’ll be setting them on fire at our NYE Kula Party!

Swimming and snorkeling encouraged after you feast on a delightful dinner with all your yoga friends (just don’t forget to wait 30 minutes.)

Beauty, wealth, delight, auspiciousness, affirmation and prosperity. You are full of limitless potential.

Kush Friendly Yoga and Wellness retreats.
Kula is a Sanskrit word that can be translated as “community,” “clan” or “tribe” and one that speaks to our soul deeply. We want people to know it’s safe to be themselves and that they are accepted whether it’s off the mat or on.
Each retreat works with the regulations in each location the retreats are offered.
Something for everyone into kush as well as daily yoga, adventures in nature, nightly entertainment, and of course connection with other like minded people.
Welcome to the Kula!

Reviews

There's something for everybody in this retreat--challenging flows in the morning, calming yin in the evening, and meditative kirtan and workshops between. There was a nice mix of yoga interspersed with fun time on excursions to the jungle and Manuel Antonio National Park on the catamaran. The food and drink services were outstanding with Cristen (our chef) and Byron (our bartender) delivering top-notch service day in and day out. And we can't forget about Tony, the nicest tour bus driver in all of Costa Rica. The Del Pacifico estates are built to optimize natural sunlight during the day and cool breezes from the Pacific Ocean in the evening--no need to ever turn on the A/C. I recommend this retreat to anybody considering it and look forward to future opportunities.

It was amazing how much planning went into this. We were never bored. Yoga overlooking the ocean, plenty of time exploring nature and beaches, down time at the pool, and great food. It was a great mix of people and so many new friendships quickly forged. Many thanks to Sarah and her team for all of the great work putting together an amazing experience.
